Exclusive: Has Illegal Immigration’s Effect on Education Become the ‘Third Rail’ of Politics?
Vincent Gioia

Traditionally, Social Security has been the “third railâ€

Is it worth destroying a whole generation of our citizen children’s educational years simply to have lower cost produce or cheap gardeners?

I'd also add, knocking American citizens out of college by putting anchor babies and other illegals to the front of the line. Not to mention the destruction of our families who are kept from jobs and services because they insist on Spanish or have drained the coffers for our citizens.

Let's see. We allow illegal labor in here to do jobs "Americans won't do" and while here they either bring their foreign-born kids and pop out anchor babies so they can play on our heart-strings about splitting up families. We educate these kids and dazzle them with a future, and what makes anyone think the kids will be satisfied with menial jobs? The kids either join gangs with connections to drug cartels for quick money or go on to higher education. Now there is a shortage of workers willing to work for low pay at menial jobs, so employers need to hire more illegals, who bring their kids and pop out anchor babies that we educate....

The yearly rankings of state education standings shows that states that allow in massive numbers of illegal aliens feel the effect directly in their education system. The 2005-2006 findings reported in a survey by Morgan Quitno Press, which looked at hundreds of public school systems in all 50 states shows that out of the bottom five states, 4 of them have massive numbers of illegal aliens.

46. California
47. Nevada
48. New Mexico
49. Mississippi
50. Arizona

This is why my kindergartener is in a charter school. In the public school she was supposed to go to, 1 in 4 children are ELL. (English Language Learners - politically correct for English as a second language - I guess that's supposed to make us think these kids actually learn something). That school is also "failing", while her charter school (and my child said all the students speak English, except for when they're in Spanish class) is highly performing. Just a coincidence?

Anchor baby citizenship is the single most pressing problem we face regarding illegal immigration. E-verify does not detect the millions here who aren't working; just delivering children and collecting benefits. In order for them to self deport, citizenship for their offspring must be stopped.

Steph, my son, now 15, went to a school where about half of the kids did not speak English as their first language. In first grade, he was put into a classroom, with a teacher who spent an innumerable amount of time on the Spanish speaking kids, giving lessons on Spanish and reading stories to them, during story time, in Spanish (no, not English). She also would leave the class with a teachers assistant daily to work with ESL students.

As a result, he left the first grade knowing NOTHING. WE had to fight the schools thereafter for help constantly, and had to work with him ourselves to get him to a point where he was no longer behind. This took us years.

We homeschool now. Do all you can to keep your kids away from the public schools, who's socialistic agendas address only those who they deem as most needy, which is NOT American kids.
